About the event
September places the Holy Cross and Our Lady of Sorrows side by side, revealing love stronger than suffering. “Glory in the Cross” helps us unite personal trials to Christ’s victory. We’ll pray the Stations of the Cross, intercede for the sick and burdened, and invite Jesus to heal memories by His wounds. Teaching opens Philippians 2 and John 3:14–17, showing the humility and exaltation of the crucified Lord; a reflection on Mary’s Seven Sorrows accompanies silent adoration. If you or someone you love is carrying a heavy cross, come for compassionate ministry and hope. The Cross is not the end—it is the door to resurrection. Leave strengthened to carry your daily cross with love and to be a sign of hope for others.
